**//__Current Events__//**
==[|Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton Spar Over Who Has The Most Bill Clinton Advisers]== ==This event is about how Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton are fighting over how Hilary's husband, Bill had taken a big part in candidating Hilary's campaign. There would be a skirmish in campaign which people are choosing sides and more are thinking about Clinton winning and becoming the new president for 2008. In my opinion i think that Hilary having her husband help her run her campaign is just very unfair and not right because it seems like she is getting all the cedit that he is doing for her. Also, that is unfair because people that have ran for president in the past shouldn't be helping another candidate because if they were president in the past then they know all the key points to winning the states and people to vote for them. So if she can have help from her husband then i guess maybe other people can have former presidents help the new candidates on winning the election.== = = 1.Hilary Cinton 2.Barack Obama By Melanie

s[|hould Hilary run for president]
==I think she should not because of some issues as president might occur. One thing is that maybe if she asks Bill Clinton former president on an opinon that can change a law or some thing big it wuold be like him in office again. After he served his 8 years and if doing some things make it like he'd be president again. Also what would other people think about this.Next someone like Barack Obama who never had anything to do with a presidn't should have a try for good or bad. Finally if Bill does do this and people find out what would happen. This is why I think she should not be in office or if in office not have Bill Clinton in the white house with her.== By Tim

[|Is it fair that hilary can be president]
==Hilary being president is like william clinton being president again. He is just going to tell her what to do. It is just a way for him to get around the 22 amendment. The article talks about how hilary is changing her campain stratigy again. But not only is she doing that she is being added by william clinton. I do not think it is fair for this to happen. He should not be able to help her in her campain and, if she wins, with being president. They will be in the white house together and will clinton will be helping her if she wins. By Vincent==

[|White Houses Dismisses Third-term talk]
==This article is about how Rockey Vaccarella wanted Bush to be President for a third year. It affects the 22nd amendment because a president can only be president for two years. The Washington Staff said no thanks for Bush to run a third year. The deputy press secretary, Dana Perino said, "Believe me, I think the staff thinks that two are plenty." Even if Bush wanted to run a third term he wouldn't be able to because of the 22nd amendment.== By Ashley
